New Concept: Near-Earth Asteroids

[ebortey]

Name the new concept
Near-Earth Asteroids

Describe the concept
I found this definition:
“An asteroid whose orbit lies partly between 0.983 and 1.3 astronomical units from the Sun, so that it passes close to the Earth. Currently thousands of near-Earth asteroids are known, ranging in size up to about 30 km. Among them, there are between 500 and 1,000 such asteroids larger than one km in diameter. They are divided into three subclasses: Amor asteroids, Apollo asteroids, and Aten asteroids. See also near-Earth object”

Describe where the concept fits within the existing hierarchy
Asteroids > Near-Earth asteroids

Please include any additional comments/feedback
This issue was created to split up #355
This is a remaining concept from the original suggestions from Dr. Nielbock

Just as an FYI, the current concept "Near-Earth objects" (1092) has alternate label "Near-Earth asteroids."
